Brine Player of the Week: Brooke Griffin, Maryland

After a somewhat quiet outing (1G, 1A) against No. 3 Syracuse a week ago, redshirt junior Brook Griffin exploded for seven points (4G, 3A) against Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon as No. 2 Maryland handed the Irish its third loss of the season.

An All-ACC honoree a season ago, Griffin entered the 2014 season with even higher expectations for Cathy Reese's squad and she has not disappointed. With the departure of 2013 First Team All-American, Alex Aust, came the opportunity to lead one of the most heralded offensive units in the nation and the junior playmaker has flourished in her new role. Griffin currently ranks third on the Terrapin lineup with 31 points (22G, 9A) and has picked up four ground balls and two caused turnovers on the season. Ranking just behind high-flying midfielders Taylor Cummings and Kelly McPartland in points, Griffin will look to continue her production when the Terps travel to Philadelphia tomorrow evening to take on No. 11 Penn.
